MBB: 2026 Guard Marcus Zelee Commits to Iowa State

[stuclone]

20 Days. Have we had a shorter commit duration?

Was just coming to post that this had to be the shortest commitment I've seen lol

 

[Frak]

Like I said, very strange recruitment.

 

[RezClone]

"OK great! Let me go ahead and add your commitment to the class of 20...

“I’m coming to win a Big 12 title — multiple times — and to make a deep run and win the NCAA Tournament. I’ll bring energy 24/7, on and off the court. I’m for the people and the city. And I WILL be the best version of myself every single day.”


Love this young man's attitude. Welcome home, Marcus! You're gonna love your new family!

Maybe he is choosing to play football for Matt Campbell instead??

Seemed like another guard reach that wouldn't even make it to campus like the past couple of years. Would have likely been a practice body for a year and transferred even if he did get here.

Someone is in his ear telling him to hold out for more, whether that is money or prestige or both. Oh well, that doesn't fit our culture. Nice to be able to move on quickly.

 

[bsaltyman]

I thought he was “1000% committed”. Whatever that means.

I thought he was “1000% committed”. Whatever that means.

I will no longer think anybody is serious about something unless they are at least 5000% committed.

That was a typo, he added a couple zeros by mistake. He was only 10% committed.

It has nothing to do with money or prestige. He’s not a B12 caliber prospect

 

[Malone]

Again. Just call it what it is for both sides: an unenforceable proclamation. Don’t call something a commitment when it couldn’t be further from the truth.

 

[Al_4_State]

What was the point of announcing this commitment?

 

[Malone]

But he was 20 days ago?

 

[ScottyP]

why did we offer him a scholarship?

The staff sure thought he was, and unless something crazy happened in the last three weeks, I'm inclined to trust their judgement.

This is incredibly dumb.

Yeah our (what would be) our lowest ranked recruit under TJ is de committing because of money and prestige.

 

[CycloneT]

But he was 20 days ago?

he either misinterpreted what the offer meant or TJ and JR miscalculated his skill level.

Lol Link?

I'm guessing he got a whole bunch of calls as soon as people saw Iowa State was interested.
